Yeah, what's up with that? InnoDB last year and now Sleepycat. I've
done a few development projects with Oracle 8 and 9, but I'm not well-
informed on how they work. I understand Oracle buys a fair number of
small software companies. Is this like CA, who absorbs and smothers?
What do you think they are up to?
